Richard Knight was apparently the first KNIGHT to settle in Newport,
Rhode Island.
He was there in 1648 and married Sarah ROGERS about that time.
His death is sometime after 1680.
Children include: John, Jonathan, David, Richard
My line of descent is as follow:
Richard KNIGHT + Sarah ROGERS
Jonathan KNIGHT + Hannah BENNETT
Richard Knight + Penelope ?
Christopher KNIGHT + Penelope ARNOLD
Jonathan KNIGHT + Hannah ?
Nathan KNIGHT + Elizabeth RICE
Ambrose KNIGHT + Sally MERRIS
I’d like to compare notes with anyone researching this family.
I have collected info on all lines, not just my line of descent.

Looking forward to hearing from a distant relative!!!
